Mummy 'Me' Time and cakes. A good mix (ho ho).

Oooh, get me. I only went and had a bit of 'me' time yesterday..... lucky old me!My main passion in life is of course Take That, but my second favourite thing is cakes. Not eating them, funnily enough - I can take or leave a cake, but show me a choccy biccie and I crumble (ho ho).I like to decorate cakes. Any size or shape will do, though my current preference is for cupcakes. Well yesterday I took a whole day out to visit the Cake International Fair at the NEC in Birmingham with a great friend, and boy what a day we had!There's too many fantastic photos for me to be able to include them all sadly. I'm going to have to let these pictures speak for themselves, but I will just say that yes, these are ALL edible, even the very special flowers, and yes, that chicken is made of cake and not chicken!!! Not sure I'll be attempting that any time soon...

What is Autism?

'Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to people around them. People with autism have difficulties with everyday social interaction'.What is PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance)?

Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) is one of several Autistic Spectrum Conditions (also known as ASD, Autistic Spectrum Disorder). The central difficulty for people with PDA is their avoidance of the everyday demands made by other people, due to their high anxiety levels when they feel that they are not in control.

Children may sometimes be described as having 'challenging' or 'oppositional' behaviour. Parents describe life as 'walking on eggshells' and their child as 'Jekyll and Hyde'.
